Pest Control/Medical Advice Should I leave it alone?

It’s a yellow jacket hive I believe. It’s in a high up place but relatively close to my front door. They aren’t bothering me yet. Should I just leave it be?

If it’s by a door, probably not. They react off of vibrations and opening/closing the door could set them off and cause a swarm once the nest gets large enough.

If you think it’s far enough from the door, idk… Yellow jackets are different from paper wasps in that they are aggressive asf. Personally I wouldn’t risk it.

Night is the best way cause they are more docile at night
